“There are some places so beautiful they can make a grown man break down and weep. I know because this is my part of my home. I belong here.” — Edward Abbey

Edward Abbey was a founder of the environmental direct action movement. His life work personally influenced me to be more engaged as a man who loves nature.
Ed is unfortunately gone, but our environmental grandfather was wise and left behind some lessons and wit in his usual style.
If you are not familiar with Ed and his work, this is a great intro that entertains and inspires. If you already know Ed as the grandfather of the southwest desert, then this video will be a nice treat.
